lean enterprise

lean enterprise
Ops
an organizational model that strategically applies the key ideas behind lean production. The concept of the lean enterprise was proposed by J. P. Womack and D. T. Jones in their 1994 Harvard Business Review article “From Lean Production to the Lean Enterprise.” They view the lean enterprise as a group of separate individuals, functions, or organizations that operate as one entity. The goal is to apply lean techniques that create individual breakthroughs in companies and to link these up and down the supply chain to form a continuous value stream to raise the whole chain to a higher level.
